Kryptogen Rundfunk — Liquid Circuits

Slowly, from the horizon
rises and grows the first track, Subaudition Coils, hypnotizing us by the
streams of sounds disappearing in the depths of the endless space, carrying you
inside a spaceship full of scientific machines on the mission to the distant stars.
The second track calls the memories of the Soviet sci-fi film Planeta Bur (1962), directed by Pavel Klushantsev. The soundtrack made of cosmic noise has
such a wonderful sound, of alive universe of machines, mechanisms and
micro-chips. The track, Pyramidoid, sounds more like a soothing hypnosis, after
the previous track, we just heard. It is a temporary ambient drift, but the
sound wave is still with us and never lets us go.

Vibroseis starts with
the direct sub-bass of the technogenic origin. Beware, it may untune you
psychologically with its frequencies.

The strain fades with another ambient
break and we get

to the Collapse of Neurotic Illusions, 14 minutes and 25
seconds in length, the longest track on the album. Listening to the track and
looking at the real world objects is an interesting experiment, which will
change the way you comprehend the motional sound of this record.

The record concludes
with the pacifying notes of We Forget, but the sound unrest of the record will
remain in your mind for a long time. Liquid Circuits is one of the best
presents to the admirers of
electronic music, but it may have unexpected effects on unprepared listener.

The record was created
using a large set of tools: electric guitar, flute, synthesisers, machines,
recorded sounds and sound effects, everything required to achieve the most
complete self-expression by the artist and impact consciousness of a listener,
both of which are done really well in this recording. The record boasts a
curious and futuristic cover, that you will gaze on for hours, trying to
untangle connections between its elements. It is mastered by Kshatriy, and
realized on Zhelezobeton, with a limited edition of 333 copies, in Saint
Petersburg, Russia. Kryptogen Rundfunk was created by Artyom Ostapchuk (aka M.M.), founder of the Zhelezobeton label, who also took part in a number of
other music projects.
